I'm not seeing the bank as a faceless entity. My point about the comparison with two people should clue you in on that. Your theory about if enough people steal from "the bank" doesn't hold any water since if that happens it's proven that the government will swoop in and save the bank as happened in the 2008 financial crisis. That's not even to say the vast options banks have to detect stealing if it would become such a huge problem. A person on welfare has little option. It's simple to me. a single person stealing from a bank incurs a lot less suffering then a single person stealing from a welfare recipient. The damage done is simply not even comparable.

> I'm not seeing the bank as a faceless entity. Yes, you absolutely are. > it's proven that the government will swoop in and save the bank as happened And you're also apparently seeing "the government" as a faceless entity with an unlimited amount of cash. When the government "swoops in", it's at the expense of every single taxpayer. I'm boggled that people are incapable of understanding this, or are in such denial about it that they feel the need to mod me down rather than debating the point.
